Happy 2021 to all! Big thank you for hanging out and being awesome for the first two-ish months of the site. It's been fun so far, looking forwards to a lot this year! If you haven't seen, after a delay, the last day of the advent can be claimed now (here). You have three choices for your last advent prize including a second chance at a creature pass. That's right we have creatures coming to Aesseldar now! Be sure to check the announcement for any rule clarifications if you're interested. Last big bit of news we do have our light layout "in the mist" ready to be used. There will still be tweaks and color changes coming in the next week or so by the fantastic dusk so don't be afraid if things look a little different.

Congratulations to Zay for winning the pride raffle with Runar! Welcome our new pride, Adamo Autumna! Don't forget to keep posting in the advent to claim your awesome prizes, and within the next few days you'll see some additional posts cropping up in the ooc areas. We'd love some feedback on the site and will be adding an area for feedback and suggestions. We will also be adding a thread to post all your open threads. Another fantastic surprise is that Koafox (some of you may know her as Miranda from other sites) has said we are welcome to use their table switcher plugin. As soon as I get the files we will be integrating that into the site for everyone to enjoy!

TWO news posts back to back my oh my stuff must be brewing! We wanted to let everyone know that the third pride slot has opened. Unlike the other slots we wanted to give everyone a chance to go for it as well, so we'll be raffling it! In order to enter the raffle please DM an admin or the Eoin account with your OOC and which character you'd like to enter the raffle with. The only requirement that has to be met is that the character must be 2 years of age or older (meaning that number of posts and feathers doesn't matter). So get your entries in, the more the merrier as we head into the new year! The other exciting news is that our neutral/lighter colored layout will be out by the end of the year, thanks to the lovely dusk!

Thank you so much everyone for a fantastic first month opening. We wanted to thank you all and let you know that we've decided to extend the grand opening bonuses for one more week, so you can bring in your first three characters free through 12/11! In other news our first contests have started and we couldn't be more excited! You may participate in the following, if you haven't already partaken: Advent Calendar, Superlatives, Advertising Contest, OTMs, and the Writing Contests. We'll be releasing another update soon with some super fun surprises, but some of Eoin's events have drawn to an end and it appears some new boards may start popping up! Expect to see more of Eoin, as well as some adjustment to the event threads, for some of the future boards as well!

11/28/2020 Staff
As we bring another week to close we'd like to welcome everyone to participate in our first contest! The Advertising contest is up and provides some really great rewards, as well as participation rewards! Coming soon are the first set of OTMs and superlatives, a writing contest, a sneak peak at our more refined skills system, and a few other small updates. Happy weekend everyone!

11/19/2020 Staff

12/15/2020 Eoin
With three new terrains open and a third pride staking a claim once more, our mischievous deity Eoin appears to be up to no good again. The quake that cracked open the mountain and closed it once more was felt around the lands, and three new terrains popped open. Tryphosa Shore now has an Atoll sub-board, and there is a Desert and a Rift board. Several more will be coming... but first Eoin will make an impression.

11/17/2020 Eoin
The rainforest trembles, as if fighting back against those who dare to occupy it. The lands of Aesseldar are still only half-tamed, unfettered and unwilling to give way to any aspiring King, any growing empire. And just as quick as King Barnabas came to lay claim to it did it begin to push back, forcing his fledgling pride out with an unforgiving downpour, and a bitter resentment of the creatures that dwell within. With one pride felled, it leaves the opportunity for another to rise from the ashes.

11/4/2020 Eoin
It happened on a hot, humid night. No one there to witness it. Somewhere, surely, it could be heard. The start of a crack. The sound vibrating from mountain top to valley dips. It was a long and dreadful noise. Somewhere in the mountains, somehow, one of the peaks had collapsed. An impassible tower of sharpened points- gone. Snow, with the hidden rocks from the destruction, slid down the slopes that were formed by ages. A wave of white forced outward to cover all below. At first it is still much too dangerous to traverse. But with time the new ground settles and with it comes- a pass. On the other side awaits a land untouched by the curious paws. The lands of Aesseldar have been revealved and somewhere down below three pridelands sit empty, awaiting for eager travelers to start staking their claims. Please refer to the grand opening announcement for information on how to claim a pride slot and fully customize it, since there are some grand opening bonuses or exceptions that are not referenced in the guidebook! We would also love to let everyone know that any official in-character news that gets posted in this "in-character" section of the layout is going to be considered common knowledge for any character in-game. Consider it like an in-character bulletin board! We will keep it updated with relevant and applicable information and hope it helps inspire your plots.

With spring the clouds begin to disperse and the warmer weather begins and new life blooms. With new lands having been discovered there is a plethora of places for the lions to explore and yet somehow that mischievous site deity never seems to stop bringing the surprises, some of which include occasional inclement weathers. Temps varying between 45°-80°F (7°-27°C).

Marcella paced with a quickened, confident gait, heading in the direction where she'd last left her mate and their children. Her senses immediately and pointedly became trained on the surroundings; from the distance it was evident she was a woman with intention. The dark maned woman paced along with the foliage and leaf brushing along her sides, twisting around her ankles and parting like a sea before her gracefully.

Eventually she paused, her paw hung up in the air as her head turned left, right and then upwards towards the sky and afternoon clouds rolling overhead. Confident that there was nothing nefarious around Marcella let out a few rolling chuffs of summons; ushering her children towards her as her heart became filled with a longing and pride both.

She was bored. Dreadfully so. Time and time again she had risen up to pace around a shrub or two. She was much too energized for her brother to handle and thus had left him alone for now. Instead, she chose to pester a lizard. The green creature was every big as her paw. She would occasionally bat at the reptile to force it to move. Her little limbs followed after in a rush. She was careful to not let it get too far away. Always quick to pounce and retrieve.

However, just as she snagged the little beast between her pointed teeth, she heard the call sound. Head popped up as the tongue swung wildly. She kept her grip as she turned on her heels to pad off. The girl made a quick short path from behind the foliage and into the open. Her mother a thrilling sight to see. "Ma-" Her voice was muffled just slightly from her closed mouth as she stopped just short of her mother's legs. Her head tilted back and she beamed ever proudly with her catch still alive.

Her heart fluttered at the sound of little paws coming towards her. Marcella broke from her stance and headed towards the approaching child- wondering which was most attentive, or which had been the lucky one to be closest? Fenella. Marcella's calm features warmed into a smile as she quickly and effortlessly recognized the small dark child bouncing her way to mother.

"You caught that on your own?" Marcella phrased the words in the veil of a question despite having no doubt in her mind that Fenella Faust was capable of such a task. She wanted to hear her daughter boast of her accomplishment as her mother radiated pure pride. There was something astonishing about raising her children, something she had not expected. It was nothing a teacher could lecture on or any wisdom passed down. Marcella was amazed each day to see them grow, to see them take each hurdle life threw at them and ascend over. Her green eyes kept firm on her daughter's face and her scaly prize. Warmth beyond pride in every inch of her gaze.

To have her achievement noticed was the goal, and the goal had been accomplished. She beamed around the lizard and as she shook her head furious in a yes motion, she gave a crunch to her teeth. They punctured the thin creature and soon it was lifeless. The tail now limp. As if on queue she noticed the difference and dropped the lizard at her front paws. Her head angled to stare down at its still body. Front toe poked it. "Ma, I broke it?" She questioned before she cast her green eyes to her mother. It was her first experience with death firsthand and she was not quite sure what had just happened. She just knew her toy no longer tried to squirm away.

Marcella curled a paw around and brushed it against the dead lizard, flipping it to admire the puncture marks her daughter had made in its scales. "You've killed it Fenella." Marcella's voice was gentle, intentionally as soft and calm as she could make it for she did not want her daughter to think she was in trouble. Death was part of life, they'd encounter it ad eternum. Fenella would need to make her peace with it, and with taking lives herself. Her first kill was something to be proud of- and Marcella was not without pride in her features as she went on explaining. "It's how our time in this world ends." No one was immune. A fact equally dreadful as it was peaceful. Someday she'd leave her children, and they'd leave their loved ones. Over and over without fail. Looking forward to it was the wrong phrase but Marcella did not fear the day it would come either, only felt guilt she'd leave behind loved ones.

She watched her mother's paw as it brushed along the scaley lizard that lay limp on the ground. It did not scurry at her touch which caused Fenella to frown further. Her mother explained, in a gentle manner, that she had killed it. Eyes widened just slight and she jerked her head back to stare at her mother in wonderment. "I did?" She had barely bitten the little thing.

Her next statement had her jaw slack a moment before it snapped shut. Ears flicked back and eyes narrowed. "Ya mean, someone's gonna bight me dead?" Well that would be just awful! Her tiny front paw stomped the ground as if to even protest such nonsense.

The lizard was small, fragile. And seemed incredibly delicate sitting there still. Marcella found it... oddly peaceful. Fenella's little accomplishment. "Skillfuly so." Marcella admired aloud - flirting her gaze from the lizard back to Fenella. Her mother warmly chuckled at such an adamant protest as the stomping of one very tiny little paw. The dark woman curled her paw away from the lizard and aimed to brush it across the top of her daughter's head. "Someday perhaps- although if I have any say in it your time will come many many years away, not by another's hands and in the comfort of your own den." Marcella would protect her daughter until she could do so nor more. And by then hopefully young Fenella would not need a protector; hopefully she would be a strong and confident fighter by then. "Someday you make end someone's life. How does that make you feel?" She pulled her paw back towards herself slowly and gracefully; settling it down besides her other and leaning downwards so her head was closer to her daughter's darkened face.

The girl did not move away as a paw brushed over her head. In fact, it only caused her beam of a smile to return at full force. She enjoyed that she had all the attention at the moment. She preferred to not have it bothered by someone else. She was pleased that there was a better option for her death. She did not want to be crushed by teeth. Alone in her den sounded easier, even if it was a bit sad.

Vibrant green eyes widened in disbelief when she mentioned she may take a life. A lion was not a lizard and she was unsure of how the thought actually settled with her. Could she even do that? "Will they deserve it?"

Marcella's brow raised and she mumbled out a soft little chuckle. "Good question." Marcella applauded and relished in her smart her little girl was. That was the inevitable question all asked when faced with death; and just as inevitable there would be disagreement over the answer. "That'll be for you to decide when the day comes..." Her voice hung in the air, heavy and thick with the serious honestly with which Marcella spoke to her child. Part of her warmed; part of her began to glow with the thought of a little warrior Fenella, skillfully striking down an enemy in battle. If only the battle was the end all be all Marcella would harbor far less worry in her breast... "Whatever you decide, own your decision. Never apologize." She reached a paw over and aimed to lightly bump the side of her paw against Fen's chest and over her heart. Be a strong woman. She willed silently.

Fenella beamed with pride when her mother stated that her question was a good one. Her chest swelled just slightly as she straightened her posture on her paws. Though she was unsure how she felt about such a big decision to lay on her paws- whenever it may come. What if she was the only one to deem them worthy of death, but no one else would agree? Or vice versa? Brows furrowed with a whole new set of questions that wracked her brain. However, she left them unspoken this time. Eyes lept to find her mother's as the paw touched at her. She warmed in response. "I will mama." A small smile spread on her darkened lips.
